Re: [boost] Generic type inferencer function?

Our code has any number of instances of this pattern:

template class SomeTemplate { SomeTemplate(const T& t, const U& u); ... };

template SomeTemplate make_SomeTemplate(const T& t, const U& u) { return SomeTemplate(t, u); }

Am I overlooking a generic boost::make<something>() of this general form?

template class CLASS_TEMPLATE, typename... ARGS> CLASS_TEMPLATE make(ARGS && ... args) { return CLASS_TEMPLATE(std::forward<ARGS>(args)...); }

If that doesn't already exist... would it be useful to add (a less naive version) somewhere?

Given the small amount of code potentially to be reused, what would be the advantage of having a generic version ? The goal of abstraction should be clarity, but more often than not, generalizing code rips off not only unnecessary details but also its meaning, making the code harder, not easier, to understand.
